Every time your phone vibrates, your brain performs a “context switch.” It might feel like a split second, but neurologically, it’s expensive. Studies suggest it can take up to 20 minutes to regain deep focus after a single interruption. This constant jumping burns through your brain’s glucose reserves, leaving you feeling wilted by noon.

The Reset: Turn “Do Not Disturb” into your default setting, not an emergency measure. Batch-check your emails three times a day rather than grazing on them every five minutes. Give your brain the luxury of doing just one thing at a time.
